Accidently deleted Windows Platform and can no longer add previous games

I accidently deleted my  Windows platform under computer in Launchbox and now I can't seem to add all my old games from that category. New windows games are still automatically being added every time I install a new game on Steam or Xbox for example but I can't seem to find a way to scan and add all my old steam, ea, epic, xbox games I have installed that were there previously.

I've tried all the manual scan options and it comes up with no new games to be added. Co-Pilot states that when you delete the Computers category it will ignore all the old windows games as they are remembered in the Launchbox database and automaticaly overlooked. 

I don't want to start importing storefronts as I don't want launchbox using my game logins, I just want to keep it where every time I install a new game launchbox will detect automatically and add the appropriate artwork but with my full steam, ea, ect libraries.

Thanks.

You might try Tools < File Management < Restore Data Backup...

I personally haven't used this tool, but I presume the prompts should be fairly descriptive.
